What We Believe

We believe that the Bible is God's inspired Word, written without error.  We believe that the only way to salvation is by faith in Jesus Christ as God's only begotten Son. Because Christ has redeemed us, we are striving together to live the Christian life in the world out of true gratitude to our Savior as Lord of all life.

Our Values (what matters)

The Word of God centers all our life. It tells us who God is. It tells us who we are. It is our guide.

In one word, Jesus. Because of his life, death and resurrection, we have life. Apart from him, we are 2lost. Through faith and by grace our lives are forever changed!

WOR S H I P  M A T T E R S

We are called to worship. To worship with all of our heart. To worship varied ways with a range of instruments. We do so as community, expressing the oneness of our God and the one community into which we are called.

COMMUNITY  M A T T E R S

We are not meant to be alone. We desire to live life together. Burdens shared. Joys celebrated.

We desire to grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. We seek to be daily shaped by Christ.
